Hummus with Heirloom Tomatoes

Ingredients
- 1-15 oz. can organic garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1 small lemon, juiced
- 2 garlic cloves, grated on a microplane zester (optional)
- 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 4-6 tbsp. cold water
- 1 large heirloom tomato, 1/4-inch dice
Directions
To a high power blender, such as a Vitamix, add the drained and rinsed beans along with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, EVOO, salt and cumin. Blend on low until a chunky paste forms, starting and stopping as needed to push the mixture down.
Add 2 tbsp. of water and blend. Keep adding 1 tbsp. of water at a time until smooth and creamy. Should be loose but not runny. Pour into a shallow bowl, cover and keep refrigerated until needed.
Top the hummus with the diced tomatoes, a drizzle of EVOO and a sprinkle of salt. Serve with pita, chips or veggies.
